GRAND FORKS, N.D. – The annual U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame game and a visit from a top-10 program highlight the University of North Dakota’s 2014-15 men’s hockey schedule, which was released in its entirety today.

The National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) announced the 2014-15 conference schedule in April. Today, UND unveiled its non-conference and exhibition opponents for next season.

The following weekend, UND will host Air Force in the annual U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Game. It is UND’s first time hosting the event since 2007-08 against Michigan State.

UND will travel to Wisconsin Nov. 7-8 for a non-conference series with the Badgers, the defending Big 10 playoff champions.

Lake Superior State will visit Ralph Engelstad Arena Dec. 5-6, the Lakers’ first trip to Grand Forks since Dec. 1973. UND will close out its non-conference schedule Jan. 16-17 at home against Niagara.
